What is the significance of posting "Fu" on Spring Festival couplets?

As we all know, the Spring Festival is a very important festival in our country. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, every household will generally post the word "Fu", so what's the point of posting the word "Fu"? The following is what I brought to you for your reference. Let's look at the word "fu" on 202 1 Spring Festival couplets.

What is the significance of posting "Fu" on Spring Festival couplets?

Fu "fell" into the house.

Posting the word "Fu" upside down means that the word "Fu" is at home, but if the main entrance of the house is also posted upside down, not only will the word "Fu" not reach home, but it will also be easy to shut the word "Fu" out. Sticking the word "Fu" on the front door is a kind of respect and reverence for "welcoming the blessings". Only when Fubao comes will Fubao visit home, but the word "Fu" can be pasted upside down on the refrigerator and bed cabinet at home to let Fubao enter the house.

Transshipment fulai

There is a very unexpected situation that the word "fu" can be pasted upside down at the front door of the house, that is, the family has suffered a disaster in the past year, and a relative in the family has passed away, so the whole family has pinned a wish to transfer to avoid disasters in the coming year, so the word "fu" can be pasted upside down, which is also a special usage of special families.

Not too much

Most of the houses in modern families are architectural structures, so basically every family only needs to hang a blessing, but the location must not be the west wall of the house, and it needs to be hung in a bright and spacious place. It is best to walk into the left hand side of the house and hang the word "Fu" in the south direction.

In addition to the above points, if the word "Fu" is pasted upside down on the trash can, refrigerator door and other places at home, there is a feeling of leaving the past behind and welcoming the new, which is a very good wish for the whole family to have a smooth new year and a safe family.

Pay attention to and taboo about posting Spring Festival couplets.

Avoid damage and stains.

When we paste the Spring Festival couplets, we must carefully check the integrity of the Spring Festival couplets, and don't damage or dirty them, otherwise it will lead to financial ruin at home, which is not conducive to the prosperity of the family. Once the Spring Festival couplets are damaged or defiled, we'd better burn them and don't continue to use them or give them to others, otherwise it will not be conducive to our future fortune development.

Don't paste the left and right couplets wrong.

The key to distinguish between up and down is the last word. According to the rules, the last word in the upper part must end in a light tone (three or four tones in Mandarin) and the lower part in a flat tone (one or two tones in Mandarin). The first part should be posted on the right and the second part should be posted on the left. The left and right sides are bounded by the gate or pilaster, and the couplets are also read from right to left.

Avoid advance or delay.

When posting Spring Festival couplets, there are also auspicious days. According to folk custom, Spring Festival couplets should be posted during the day on New Year's Eve. If we post one day in advance, then that day happens to be the last day, but it will bring disaster; If you postpone posting for one day, it will not reflect the role of exorcism and wealth.

Avoid uncovering the cover during the Chinese New Year.

When we post Spring Festival couplets, we should consider removing the time of Spring Festival couplets. In terms of folk customs, we usually wait until the next year to remove them and replace them with new ones, but because the folk customs in different places are not necessarily the same, some of them will be removed after the New Year. However, generally speaking, families all over the country can't pick Spring Festival couplets during the New Year, otherwise their wealth will be damaged.

Legend of Spring Festival couplets

In the ancient mythology of China, it is said that there is a ghost world, in which there is a mountain, a big peach tree covering three thousand miles, and a golden rooster at the top of the tree. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, the ghost who travels at night must return to the ghost domain. The Gate of Ghost Domain is located in the northeast of Taoshu District, and there are two gods standing by the door, namely shentu and Lei Yu. If the ghost does something unnatural at night, Shencha and Lei Yu will immediately find it, catch it, tie it with a rope made of Miscanthus, and give it to the tiger. So ghosts all over the world are afraid of tea and stagnation. So people carved them into peach trees and put them at their doorsteps to ward off evil spirits and prevent harm.

Later, people simply carved the names of Shencha and Lei Yu on the mahogany board, thinking that this could also eliminate disasters. This kind of red board was later called "Fu Tao". In the Song Dynasty, people began to write couplets on mahogany boards, one for killing evil spirits, the other for expressing good wishes, and the third for decorating the portal for beauty. "Fu Tao" is the embryonic form of Spring Festival couplets.
